In addition to this Mr. VanDcmnn seal re 1 the lirst prciniuni for best plate of apples, beauty and size eonsidered, second premium on best plate summer apples and second premium on best pi ite, quality and beauty considered, Tin: Rkuistkr has received many commendations for its enterprise publishing last week a list of the lauds affected by Judge Bicwci'- decision Iti.o.

We don't see how Garuett can supiiort so good a paper, but we hope it will From the tender and lllial way in which the Intcr-Statc this week al ludes to Mr. Acre- and the rest of the loin brethren (always excepting Capt.

Jones) we fear the trade is off. In spite of the gloomy predictions of Badical Republican," it will be ob served that the republican ticket is at the head of Tub Kkgistei: columus tliis week, and it is placed there le-causc Tun Rhiistkr expects to support every man on it. We hae noticed, by-the-way, that every once in awhile some body nets dreadfully worried for fear The Ri gister is go ing to tlop er to the democracy, but some how it neer flop-. The republicans of lol.i always heat Humboldt republican-. Intcr-Slate.

My son, my son, how oft have I rebuked thee for lying In '82 Iola gave George Amos 2GS votes and Humboldt gave him 212. The same year Iola gave Capt. 279 votes and Hum boldt gave him 200. In '84 Iola gave these same gentlemen respectively 332 and 3G9 votes, while Humboldt gave them 290 and 2fi2 votes. And yet "the republicans of Iola always beat the re publicans of Humboldt." In the Springfield (Mo.) JVcws, of last week, whii paper i- publi-hing alleged portraits and biographies of noted editors (said editors being "noted" by reason of having bought a Urouty prc-s for which the JVews is agent) friend Smith of the Jnlcr-Slatc discourses tlm- modestly concerning himself and ids labors: 'lie (friend Smith) built up the waste place- of democracy, brought to Humboldt the trade from the eastern part of the county, wrote up the first editorial notice of the city of Moran, a thriving town cast of the county seat, caused a revolution in the land litigation and advocated the cause of the settlers and downed the republican organ of his town, and is now editor and proprietor of the only democratic paper of hi-county." Anything else, Smithy? Wi.

publish the following in the hope that a certain prominent citizen of the county will cut it out and "pull it" on a certain prominent citlen of the city the next time they have an argument about the cattle lea-es, and the connection of a republican administration therewith Mr. Joseph Xhnmo, late chief of the bureau of statistics at Washington, is now collecting the material for a work on the public lands and particularly as to those of them occupied by Indians. He was in the Indian territory a few daj-s ago looking up the situation there. Among other things he investigated the cattle business, and say- that the result of hi? investigation is a change of his opinions on the subject or tuc teases for purposes of grazing He thinks that General Sheridan was imposed upon by designing persons. among them some army officers who have large interests in cattle that, be- lore luese leases, were grazed on the Indian lands.

When the lands were leased the, unauthorized cattle were crowded off, and their owners have not been sati lied -ince. He aid that Secretary Teller was opposed to the leasing bu-i-ness and consented only on positive repre-entation of competent persons that il would pro beneficial to the Indians. Another matter of intere-t mentioned by Mr. Kimmo in this con nection, we gne in hi- own languages "i win mention as one or the amusing features of tbi- busines- the fact that seven-eighths of the original lessees were democrat-, and that they secured the approbation of the secretary of the interior alnio-t entirely through the influence of democratic senators and members, of Congress; so that the leasing wa- in fact an army arrangement, backed up and carried out almost entirely by democrats." FOB THE PUBLIC 0000. Ed.

Register: Whilst believing that your answers to my second letter wen according to law" I am not altogether satisfied about the "law" in all cases. If the county printing can be lone for much less than the law allow and there are papers anxious to doit, isn't the law pretty generous, aud couldn't some of the other county business be done the same way? 2. How many "Jail were there the last quarter and what kind of "grub" do they get (Maybe to answer thi-t satisfactory you'd better slip in some day for dinner when they don't know- ou are coming.) It seems to me $223.55 would feed and keep a good many say ten or fifteen provided they only get bread aud water. But if there is only anaverageof six or seven, I'm afraid they are getting pretty near as well fed as people who don't get in such places. And further, if they are in jail for selling whisky (and only get bread and water) I trust they may be kept in there till they get as rr aud lean as did our poor soldiers the Andersomille prison.

Then when they get out they would like bread and water and let whisky alone. 3. Isn't it about time for the county to unit laving out county roads and finish bridging the creeks? (But maybe the county surveyor would stane out then.) It would pay the state yet to renew law making every section line highway since land is so valuable wheu damages are allowed. 4. What ha- been done with the vnult to hold the county record-? Has it been paid for and how much If not used, why not? Thankful to know you take an in answering my questions and feeling grateful for the assurance that other- are deeply interested, too, I clo-e this time with the request that if any other- pitch into me and publish "my little tax items" you will publish theirs side by side, as they will be too modest.

Respectfully yours, S. 31. Irwin. Geneva, Sep. 15.

ANSWER. 1. Mr. Irwin's allusion to the county printing give us an opportunity for a few- remarks ou that subject which we gladly improve. The county printing cannot "be done for much lc-s than the law allows" and give the publisher a fair leturn for his labor, -pace and trouble.

The fact that it is often done for less arises first, out of the sensless competition of newspapers, aud second, out of what we consider a mistaken idea of the County Commissioners in letting the contract to the lowe-t bidder. The law provides that certain matters pertaining to public busines- shall be published in a newspaper "of general circulation in the county." The intention of the law plainly is to give the -aid matters the wide-t tossible publicity, and to carry out this intention it would seem to be the plain duty of the Commissioners to -elect as an official paper the one having the largest circulation. This, it seems to us, should be the test and the only test. The paper ha ing the largest circulation should be ghen the county printing and should receive therefor the compensation prescribed by 1 iw. Under the competitive system it will nearly always be the case that' the county printing will be awarded to the poorest paper in the county, for the reason that its space is worth less than that of it- more widely circulated and more aluablc contemporary.

Under this rule the contract was awarded two years ago to a paiier that we know did not hae more than 2-t) bona fide suhscriliers in the county, but the publisher was unable to till his bond and so the work was given at de cent ratc-toTiii-REaiSTERand Union. Surety no one, not een Mr. Irwin, would seriously argue that we should let all our county offices out to the lowest bidder The idea of putting the business of the county into the bauds of the men who arc willing to do it for the least money, is prejwster-ous. Yet it seems to us be little less prcposterou- to let the county printing to the lowest bidder. It i mainly a matter of opinion whether or not the salary of county officer- is too high.

We luc already given it as our opin ion that they are not. In any event it will take an act of the legisla ture to chaugc any of them. 2. Wc do not know what the bill of fare i- at the jail, hut while we have never heard any complaint, it cannot be very sumptuous. 1 he jailer is al lowed -10 cents a day for boarding each prisoner, in addition to which he is allowed a dollar day for keeping the jail.

last quarter to $91, was 'included in the bill of $22.5.55 alluded to by Mr. Irwin. We have not had time to look up the num ber of prisoner- during the quarter, but the bills are on tile in the Clerk's of fice and may readily be compared with the j-iilor's liook-. 3. Laying out roads anl erecting bridges necessarily follow increased population.

One of the necessities of chilied life i- good road- and safe cro-sings, and people are generally willing to pay for them. We have not had our attention called to the matter before but we have never heard any complaints that our county as extravagant in that line. 4. The anlt for keeping the county records has been paid for ($810.00) aud is in constant u-e. BEPUBLICAH COUNTY C0NVZ5TI0H.

After a suggestion to the effect that the convention endorse all the resolutions it had heretofoie pas-ed except the one endowing the administration the comention adjourned. Immediately afterwards the delegates from the 2nd Commis-ioner's District, compri-ing Iola, Elm, Marmaton and Klsmore township-, met, organized by the election of T.

S. Sto ver as chairman and Geo. Mathews as secretary, and proceeded to the election of a candidate for Commissioner. A. C.

H. Shockey, H. F. Travis and A. J.

MeC.irley were placed in nomination, Marmaton and Klsmoie voting for Shockey, Elm and pai of Iola for Ti avis and the remainder of Iola for McCarley. After two ballots without auy result, the Elm delegation withdrew Travis aud cast their vote for W. H. McCluie. After another ballot or two without result, H.

L. Hender- mou was put forward and recehed the nomination. Immediately after the adjournment the Central Committee met and organized by electing H. L. Henderson chairman, and Wm.

Davi-secretary. The convention was harmonious throughout, there being no second ballot on any office except that of commissioner. The ticket that ha- been nominated is a strong and evenly balanced one and will be elected from top fo bottom we have no doubt. Eery man on it is competent to fill the otlice to which he aspires. Indeed, with the exception of Mr.

Gardner and Mr. Henderson, eeiy man has already been tested and has proven himself fully capable of transacting the business of the office for hich he is a candidate. We do not know personally, anything about the qualifications of Mr. Gardner, but wc are assured by those who are acquainted with him that he is fully competent to take charge of the Treasurer's books. Mr.

Henderson needs no commendation from us. Everyone who knows him knows that he is fnlly qualified to fill any office In the county. He i- a successful business man, shrewd, firm and cautious, and will make a model commissioner. As1 the campaign progresses we -hall have more to say. For the present we will merely add that The Register is for the ticket, the whole ticket and nothing but the ticket.
